I know. I have heard. I have a good job now but I'm in iowa. Close to family and that's it. But hey, I work 4 10 hour days and am on fb/forums ~30 of them.

 

i am the same way, i work 5 10 hour days though and on here all day.

 

I will do some more modifying and then get a tune hopefully around the end of the year.

 

do your research on the tuning shops, find out who is actually doing the tune and then google their name....

 

Will do

 

the two shops i was looking at one name i googled and it was nothinb but negative, the other (steve kan) all positive, actually shops fly him out for tunes.

 

Im planning on contacting the two shops and asking who in particular does the Uprev tuning and get a quote for it.

 

UPDATE

So I have kind of been on a purchasing frenzy recently. Just wanted to tell everyone that I am getting rid of my ugly, old intake and replacing it with a Z1 Motorsports Z-Tube and a JWT Pop Charger

Also, I have been trying to post some more pictures, but I have been having computer issues lately and can't get them up! I will be installing the motordyne parts this weekend and will be taking pictures the whole way through and try to post those also.

Thanks for all the help and advice these past few days

BTW I will also have just under $700 left for a tune after I get my parts in.
That will mean my setup would be Motordyne tdx2, MREV2, 5/16" copper iso thermal plenum spacer, Z1 motorsports z-tube, jwt popcharger and uprev tune. Sounds good to me!

 

$700 should be enough to get tuned. Post before and after numbers if you can!

 

Definitely will! Probably won't be for another month or so.

 

What's the pay vs Cost of Living there? I know my buddy said he could buy XXX acres and a mansion for beans in his old hometown.

I'd move to TX in a heartbeat over Iowa, but it's under 4 hours to see most of my/gfs family. I'm trying to get down into Southern Missouri as mentioned.

I need to make a "soon" meme of myself sitting at my desk looking at a map of Missouri.

 

UPDATE

Hey guys, I have been really busy lately and unable to give you guys some info on what is goin on. After I got my exhaust installed, my dad and I installed the MREV2 and the Copper Iso Thermal Plenum Spacer. All went well, but it took us quite a while because we had to come up with an inch/pound torque wrench that my dad's friend ended up having. It was a smooth process and a pretty simple install. While we were doing this we also installed the Z1 Motorsports Z-Tube. My JWT Pop Charger came in the next weekend and I am looking into putting it on either this weekend or the next. I haven't contacted ET Tuning yet, but am planning on getting my car in there in the next month or so. I chose ET Tuning because I heard a few bad things about Speed and Sound. Apparently there were a couple $1500+ deals where the customer paid, but never recieved a product. Also the owner of ET Tuning used to work for Reid Vann so I figured he had to be good. They had great reviews as well. Anyways I will try to post some pictures, but I am having computer problems so I will do my best to get them up here!

 

Sounds like your making good progress

Computer hasn't been letting me attach pictures so this is the best I can do. I got the Pop Charger installed last night and felt an immediate difference. I am calling ET Tuning today to see how much the tune will be.

 

have you done exhaust yet? if not you may want to wait til you have. if you got test pipes and true dual it will lean you out and then you would have to do a retune...

 

The Z its just like the female gender...
they are all beautiful until someone brake it...

 

Exhaust is in and I am not doint test pipes. This will be my last performance mod for a while sadly. I am saving money for the next year or so to buy a beater for college. I'd rather keep the Z at home.

 

then carry on good sir... you will love it after a tune

 

I talked to Jon at ET Tuning today and he said it would be $300 for Uprev licensing software that allows my car to be tuned with Uprev, plus another $300 for the actual tuning. I have $700 to spend so I should be set! Also, turns out Jon's dad used to race Formula Vee's with my dad in the 80's. Anyways I will make my appointment in the next month and will definitely have videos . I will also try and get my exhaust video up as well
